Crema's Take

“Tucked into Carmel's charming narrow lanes, this roastery trades generic coffee shop vibes for a vintage American warmth that feels like stepping into a beloved local secret, where the deep, balanced espresso pairs perfectly with their showstopping pastries—like a 120-year-old cardamom pistachio cake available gluten-free. The courtyard becomes your refuge for an afternoon of writing or lingering conversation, all while friendly baristas who genuinely seem to enjoy their craft pour cortados and brew loose leaf teas that deserve their own devoted following.”

They have a great selection of loose leaf tea options and a very tasty cardamom pistachio cake based on a 120 year old recipe with also a gluten free option.

Ordered a cortado from a warm, down to earth barista and did some writing in their beautiful courtyard. Their espresso is deep and balanced. A delicious afternoon experience 💕

Small coffee shop, the coffee and their pastries are D-eliciousssss! Overpriced but it was worth it since everything we ordered was yummy. My kid loved his Jasmine-Chamomile tea👌👌

Cozy little coffee shop hidden in one of the narrow lanes of Carmel. Coffee ☕️ was great. It is mostly crowded here. Did not get anything to eat, but pastries and baked goodies looked scrumptious and so many choices!!!! Must check out!! 😋😋
